3) Vincent D’Onofrio – Wilson Fisk
Many Marvel fans have noted that, while the studio’s movies frequently feature weak, underdeveloped villains, their TV series showcase some of the most well-written and fully-characterized bad guys around. Apart from Kilgrave (who we’ll get to in a moment), the other great Marvel TV villain is Daredevil’s Wilson Fisk – usually known to comic fans as the Kingpin.
In the role, Vincent D’Onofrio offers a career best performance, perfectly walking that very difficult balance between being formidable and somewhat vulnerable at the same time. Through his genuine love for girlfriend Vanessa, and the character’s hang-ups about his abusive father, Fisk is a real human being, rather than a comic book villain. His surprise return in Daredevil’s second season was a highlight and we can’t wait to see more of him in season 3, which will be here in 2018.
